Hi, I use the analogue outputs as at present none of my amps are
blessed with digital inputs. I either drive the Transporter into a

New to this forum and as a new owner of a SlimDevices product I can
only say that for almos $2000 for the Transporter you would it to

I have mine hooked up to a Krell KAV-400xi by a pair of expensive
balanced kables. The Krell is then pumping a pair of Von
Well I've had my Transporter for a few weeks now and I have had chance
to hook it up to various bits and pieces and to have put it through its
paces.
Firstly the sound:
Clear crisp and although Im 50 very pleasant to the ear. Compared to
the Slim3 it is without doubt Hi Hi-Fi. Ive have three

Well, I just got my Transporter today and hooked it up.
I'm using the analog outputs from the Transporter into my Arcam Alpha
10 integrated amp, from there into an Alpha 10 power amp, and then into
a set of Madisound Cygnets.
Not exactly the high end setup that many here have, but it's paid
Here is a slightly amended version of a post I made elsewhere...
My existing system consists of an Audio Synthesis CD transport and DAC,
a Jadis Orchestra integrated tube amp, Sonus Faber Elector Amator II
speakers on Partington stands, and some serious TEAC cabling. I listen
to FLAC files
Nice post.
Remember, the two best ways to listen to stereo, assuming your living
environment will allow it, are:
1. On-axis, in a equilateral triangle. The speakers are X feet apart.
You are the same X feet from each speaker. On-axis means they are
pointed at your ears.

Ahem, well, by default and need for WAF, that's exactly how I do it.
The near field thing is great, to be sure, but is simply not practical

I agree that the spatial relationship between the listener and the
speakers is really important. But my recent experience with the
Transporter has demonstrated to me very clearly that this is not
necessarily the most critical thing (unless, maybe, you are listening
in an anechoic chamber).

Often the best way is to see how many turn up on ebay. I looked for a
Squeezebox there, and found very few indeed, so I just bought one new.
The fact that not many people are selling them is a good indicator.
We'll see if any Transporters turn up!

I doubt that Slim will be seeing any under that guarantee either.

How many new Transporter owners do you think are willing to stick their
